Good question.

Manual transmissions in E-Classes are very rare actually. They're non-existent on the bigger engined models for one and the few that are sold on the lower end models are usually bought by people who do a lot of towing or someone who wants an E-Class with a manual, generally.

Perhaps, and this is a serious thought now, perhaps there won't be a manual option on the next E-Class? But I seriously can't see that occurring at the same time since there is a very small demand for manuals on the E-Class. We'll have to wait and see.

But to answer your question, I have not thought about it this way and financially speaking it would be silly to do this.

That's got to be real! The details are too exact for it to be a guess.

I love it! It's a hybrid of the current E & 5-series interiors. It looks solid.

Dam, I do not like the 80's retro interior styling. Why has MB retain the foot operated parking brakes when the majority of their rival has gone for the electronic ones? It seems like MB has retained the traditional clock on the instruments panel and they have gone back to the traditional dial to indicate the engine temp and fuel level. This is seriously retro.

Re: 2009 E-Class (spy pics & details)

man they CAN NOT drop the foot operated hand brake..its a MUST...
the day they do that..it will no longer be MB..
as for the dials.. i kinda like that retro look..
a analog clock and analog gauges infront of your eyes..
and more detailed and modern info in the Command screen..seems like a good idea to me
